Work in Process Tracking
Overview of the customized application developed specifically to meet your actual requirements, particularly focusing on efficient Work-in-Process (WIP) tracking.
The application streamlines the material verification and WIP serialization process at the workstation level.
Workstation Workflow Summary
For a single workstation, the application follows these steps:
- Worker Login & Setup:
- The worker logs in using a Handheld Terminal (HHT) or mobile computer.
- The production line and shift are automatically determined and selected based on the login or workstation location.
- Order Selection:
- The worker selects the relevant Production Order (RPO) number from a dropdown list. This order is linked directly to your ERP system.
- Material Identification:
- The required raw material name and part number appear on the screen, indicating what should be used for the selected RPO.
- Material Verification (Input Scanning):
- The worker scans the Goods Receipt Note (GRN) barcode label for each individual raw material piece.
- Crucial Note: If the scanned material part number does not match the required part number for the RPO, the input will be rejected by the system.
- WIP Serialization & Labeling:
- Upon successful verification of all materials, a unique WIP serial number barcode label is printed on the barcode printer.
- This label is then immediately applied to the assembly/product starting the production process.
This process ensures that only the correct components are used and that the WIP is tracked with a unique identifier from the very first step.
